The Eleven

FKA twigs

Composição de: Lewis Roberts / Tahliah Barnett
For the last couple of years, I've been carefully observing
 the balance of my life
Examining the practical and spiritual pillars that give 
structure to my days and my weeks
Sensing the ebon flow of my relationships with technology 
and nature
Becoming aware of how even the smallest, unexpected drops 
of pleasure or pain could spiral my day
I used to think I could do nothing but watch the ricochet
My life pillars tumbling like dominoes
As if each ball held the same scientific laws of gravity
I now know that life is not beyond my intervention
It is difficult but not impossible
Love is a practice and practice takes time and time is the 
most precious thing we have
Wether the love of a craft or a person, we must practice 
our love by making
From this thinking, came The Eleven
A self-healing practice where you use physical cues and 
vocalization to commit to change
This range from private, undetectable gestures
To bolder physicals movements and mantras to be expressed 
alone
Or in the company of a likeminded group
I look forward to sharing these movements with you

Eusexua
The blissful feeling of momentary transcendence, evoked by 
art, music, sex and togetherness
Eusexua can be followed by a surgical tranquility and 
feelings of limitless possibility
The pinnacle of human experience

What follows is the lexicon
A set of eleven words, eleven ideas that, if followed, will
 lead you into state where you are receptive to eusexua

forms you including imagery, information, energy, air food 
and water
The curated input of energies, ideas and physicalities 
entering each human vessel

Keychainining
Consciously filtering your keychain of human relationships 
to prioritize quality over quantity
Optimizing your network for minds and bodies that bring you
 love, knowledge and experience

Croning
To passively or unwittingly merge with technology
Slipping too deeply into the algorithms that surround you
A person merged with tech in a way that has become 
unhealthy
Inspired by the mounting of flesh and cyborg in the movies 
of David Cronenberg

Minestate
The condition of being comfortable with yourself having 
actively stepped back from social activities in order to 
nourish your solo identity

Shaping
To recalibrate and optimize the external environment that 
fosters your creativity
To prepare the ground so that you have the perfect setting 
to focus your energies

The art of sol
The act pf purifying your energetic and physical space by 
prioritizing the crafted over mass produced
The pure over the processed
Favoring the meaningful over the inconsequential

Inspiration comes within you and you're creating work that

Becoming a creative conduit
A guided meditation for artists and performers

Welcome to this guided meditation into grounding you and 
unlocking your creative potential
Find a comfortable position
Close your eyes
And take a deep breathe in
Feeling the Earth beneath you supporting your weight
As you inhale, imagine yourself as a mighty oak tree
Rooted deeply into the soul of your life experiences
Feel the roots extending from your feet, anchoring you 
firmly to the ground, drawing in the nourishment of your 
past
Every experience aring in the trunk of your being

Now invision the bulk of the tree

Resilient and protective
Let it remind you that you are strong and capable
Impervious to doubt or imposter syndrome
You have everything in you to create authentically
With each exhale, visualize the branches reaching upwards
Connecting you to the vast expanse above
Give yourself permission to become hollow
A vessel for divine inspiration to float through you
Feel the energy moving from the tips of your branches down 
to your core

As you breathe in
Imagine your lungs expanding like the leaves in the wind
Filling with artistic space, the breathe of creation
And, as you exhale
Release any doubts, fears or insecurity, the dark matter
Letting them dissipate into the air

Continue this cycle of breathe
Each exhale purifying your being until there is only pure, 
radiant energy left within you
Know that you are connected both to the higher power above 
and the core of the Earth below
A conduit for creativity and expression

When you feel fully grounded and aligned, gently open your 
eyes
Carrying the sense of empowerment and connection with you 
as you move forward in your creative journey
You are a beautiful conduit of your life experiences
Ready to channel divine art into the world
